THE PRACTICAL WORKING of THE CHURCH OF SPAIN. By the Rev. FREDERICK
MEYRICK, M.A., Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford.
"Pleasant meadows, happy peasants, all holy monks, all holy priests,
holy every body. Such charity and such unity, when every man was a
Catholic. I once believed in this Utopia myself, but when tested by
stern facts, it all melts away like dream"--_A. Welby Pugin._
"The revelations made by such writers as Mr. Meyrick in Spain and Mr.
Gladstone in Italy, have at least vindicated for the Church of England
a providential and morally defined position, mission, and purpose in
the Catholic Church."--_Morning Chronicle._
"Two valuable works ... to the truthfulness of which we are glad to add
our own testimony: one, and the most important, is Mr. Meyrick's
'Practical Working of the Church of Spain.' This is the experience--and
it is the experience of every Spanish traveller--of a thoughtful
person, as to the lamentable results of unchecked Romanism. Here is the
solid substantial fact. Spain is divided between ultra-infidelity and
what is so closely akin to actual idolatry, that it can only be
controversially, not practically, distinguished from it: and over all
hangs a lurid cloud of systematic immorality, simply frightful to
contemplate. We can offer a direct, and even personal, testimony to all
that Mr. Meyrick has to say."--_Christian Remembrancer._
"I wish to recommend it strongly."--T. K. _Arnold's Theological
Critic._
"Many passing travellers have thrown more or less light upon the state
of Romanism and Christianity in Spain, according to their objects and
opportunities; but we suspect these 'workings' are the fullest, the
most natural, and the most trustworthy, of anything that has appeared
upon the subject since the time of Blanco White's
Confessions."--_Spectator._
"This honest exposition of the practical working of Romanism in Spain,
of its everyday effects, not its canons and theories, deserves the
careful study of all, who, unable to test the question abroad, are
dazzled by the distant mirage with which the Vatican mocks many a
yearning soul that thirsts after water-brooks pure and
full."--_Literary Gazette._

SYMPATHIES of the CONTINENT, or PROPOSALS for a NEW REFORMATION. By JOHN
BAPTIST VON HIRSCHER, D.D., Dean of the Metropolitan Church of Freiburg,
Breisgau, and Professor of Theology in the Roman Catholic University of the
City. Translated and edited with Notes and Introduction by the Rev. ARTHUR
CLEVELAND COXE, M.A., Rector of St. John's Church, Hartford, Connecticut,
U.S.
"The following work will be found a noble apology for the position
assumed by the Church of England in the sixteenth century, and for the
practical reforms she then introduced into her theology and worship. If
the author is right, then the changes he so eloquently urges upon the
present attention of his brethren ought to have been made _three
hundred years ago_; and the obstinate refusal of the Council of Trent
to make such reforms in conformity with Scripture and Antiquity, throws
the whole burthen of the sin of schism upon Rome, and not upon our
Reformers. The value of such admissions must, of course, depend in a
great measure upon the learning, the character, the position, and the
influence of the author from whom they proceed. The writer believes,
that questions as to these particulars can be most satisfactorily
answered."--_Introduction by Arthur Cleveland Coxe._
